How do I *TURN OFF* (NOT RESTART) an iPhone 11 with a broken screen?

I've seen the "tap volume-up, volume-down, hold power-button" instructions -- but that doesn't COMPLETELY TURN OFF the phone. It just REBOOTS it.


I want to COMPLETELY TURN IT OFF so I can remove the SIM card. I want it to go off and STAY OFF!!! I do NOT want it to RESTART!!!


How do I do that on an iPhone 11?

Without a functioning screen, about all you can do is let the battery run out of charge.
